Description

Under the powerlines running up through Silver Lake Road, below Lenny's lookout, are a bunch of boulders. 6 to 10 with potential for ~20 problems, maybe more. Some are excellent as is, some could be good with some serious scrubbing and clearing dense shrubs at the base. The utility company periodically cuts down all the trees in this corridor, so there are a ton of shrubs. Landings are generally least-overgrown in winter.

Getting There

~15-20 minutes from the Silver Lake Trail Head on Rt 53 - goo.gl/maps/BfDwLwNBbo34EBr…
Walk up the Silver Lake Road (dirt, closed to cars) .5 miles until the powerlines and pipeline cross the road. Head uphill on the maintenance road under the powerlines towards the low-angle cliff. Boulders are scattered below the cliff.
